BIBLE sroLEN.-On Tuesday a
thief broke into the library of the
Sand Hill Church and stole the
Church Bible. Now, if this fellow
was too poor to buy a Bible, had
called on the Bible Agent in this
place, he would kindly have pro.
vided him one free, and he would
not have been guilty of a mean
theft, and if caught, probably sa.
we'd term in the penitentiary.

The city election occurs mex,
month, and in this election we are
all deeply interested. An import
ant and increased addition of ter
ritory has been added to the corpo-
rate limits :of the town. A large
tax revenue will be collected from
the new territory acquired, but at
the same time it will be an annoy
ing and expensive piece of terri
tory to keep mp. The people resi-
ding in the new territory will de
mand that their streets and bridges
shall be put in good condition,
that good sidewalks be made, that
the streets now illegally closed, be
opened up TO the public, and so on.
What we want is an active, ener-
getic, determined Council elected,
who will not be reckless in the ex.
penditure of public money, but
who at the same time will have
the nerve to appropriate money
and make Improvements when
they are needed. Let the voters
who reside in the new addition to
the town, see to it, that they have
a fair representation in the next
Council. You have the votes, and
put them where they will do the
most good.

a LITTLE ADvIcE.-There is one
way for this town to grow, and that
is for the men who own lots to sell
them at reasonable prices. We
hope the Railroad will put its lots
on the market soon and ,offer them
at low figures. What is there in
this town to make any lot worth
such prices as some parties ask for
their property? There is nothing,
and never will be, if there is not a
change in such matters. Judge
Redmond sold the Wetzel lot con-
tanning an acre of ground, a fair
house upon it, and a corner lot, 10.
Gated in the upper end of town, on
the east side of Main. street, for
$500. If others who own lots in
town, would sell them as reasona.
BILE, in very few years this town
would contain several thousand in
habitants.

an invalid pension, if they are now,
TO a material extent, disabled from
performing manual labor, in con-
sequence of a disease or diseases
contracted, or of a wound or injury
received in the service and dis
charge of duty.
Speaking from a Democratic
standpoint, we consider that q
a pension is an absolute right vest
ed in each and every person, who,
in any manner, becomes incapaci-
tated for the performance of manual
labor, while in the discharge of his
duty in the military or naval serv-
ice of the Government.
When a man enters the army or
navy of the United States, he be
comes a party to a contract in
which he is to furnish his service,
and part of his compensation is.
that if disabled while in such serv-
ice, or in consequence of duty per-
formed, he sball be paid a fixed
scale, determined by law, while the
disability continues. This is as
much debt of the Government to
him as was the amount of his
monthly pay while in the service,
and there should be no hesitation
on the part of any person to de-
mand this just right-this just
due. You old veterans know full
that you are not today, what you
were when you went forth twenty
four years ago, to do battle for your
country's cause.
There is no particular class of
diseases upon which pensions are
granted. 1t does not depend so
much upon the disease itself as
upon the disability arising there
from. A soldier may have become
sun-struck during a weary march.
on a hot summer day, and is now
troubled with headache, vertigo,
nervousness, general debility, &c;
he may have contracted rheusa-
tism, lumbago. or neuralgia, from
severe exposure to which he was
subjected while fording streams,
building trenches, marching in
the rains. or sleeping upon the
damp ground; he may have become
afflicted with camp diarrhea by
reason of change of diet from civil
ian to that of soldier, from the for
ced use of uacooked food, bad water,
want of proper nourishment and
exposure; he may have contracted
a cold, which settling upon his
lungs has developed consumption;
his confinement in prison may
have developed scurvy. with its at
tendant horrors; in fact his army
service may have been the direct
cause of almost any known disease.
If any of these now materially dis
able him, or hinder him from fol-
lowing his usual avocation, or per-
forming the labor of a healthy
man, he is entitled to a pension
under the law.
They are entitled. to a pension
for disability arising from any in
jury, such as hernia or rupture,
fracture, varicose veins, deafness,
Complete or partially &C., while
often a very slight gun-shot or
she'll wound would give you title.
The disabilities arising from dis
eaae, or injuries, may be slight, yet
a rating will be given;i it often hap
pens that in some kinds of obscure
disease, as rheumatism, sun-stroke,
and neuralgia, no physical signs
can be discovered, and yet if the
claimant presents such evidence as
would satisfy the mind of a candid
and impartial Board, such as we
have in our city, that a pensiona-
BILE disability does exist, a pension
will be allowed at rate proper
tionate to the degree of disability
found.
